Before
You Leave for the Summer (Important Miami account tips)
Before leaving for the summer, it is important to do some
account maintenance. The number one problem that is fielded
by the Support Desk during the summer season is forgotten
passwords. Resolving password problems is much more difficult
when you are not on one of Miami’s campuses. Therefore,
just a little bit of planning can save you a lot of trouble.

My document is damaged!! Can you
recover it for me?
 As
the semester nears its finish, students of all disciplines
are completing final papers and projects. Hours of hard
effort have gone into these papers, but many students
rely on the flimsy piece of mylar that is inside 3 1/2"
floppy disks to store this precious work. Others will
use zip disks, and many will use their personal computer's
hard drive.

New Microsoft Contract
to Take Effect July 1, 2004
Miami University, in conjunction with the Ohio IUC
(Inter-University Consortium) negotiated a contract
with Microsoft in 1999 to provide software for all university
owned computers. The contract also allowed the Bookstore
to sell software very inexpensively to faculty, staff
and students for personally owned computers. This contract
is set to expire June 30, 2004. A new contract has been
negotiated but will result in a very significant change
for students (nothing changes for faculty and staff).
